Description

The author, Bob Walsh, who grew up in Yorkville during the 1950s, writes about the people, places and events that went into making Yorkville one of the best places for families to enjoy life in America. In many ways, this is a love story, a wonderful walk down memory lane with a unique "peek behind the curtains" into what life was like for those who were so fortunate to be part of it. Included are Carl Schurz Park, John Jay Park, Central Park, St. Monica's, the Polo Grounds, street games, the Dodgers and Giants, Coney Island and the Steeplechase, and so much more. Readers are in for a great treat!
